Not too bad!
hi chrissy! sad to see u go. we really want to help u guys that's why we need time to plan and prepare the items needed for the boat. we're helping a lot of people and we dont want to jeopardize it if someone keeps sending their boats immediately.
GC id: cpom!
Level: 31
Currently working on my Captain III status and it says I've got 9/12 complete. So only 3 more to go!
I've got 2 empty crates on my boat that each need 3 vanilla ice cream.
I'd love to help others out too!
Dear Chrissy,
I am sorry that we upset you in any way.
I can understand how it is with a 2 yr old around, I have a 2 yr old myself, therefore I DO understand.
I understand that you will want to spend time or he/she will want to spend time with you.
Maybe you are not aware that after you shut down the game, you can clear it from the iphone/ipad's memory and when you switch it on the next day, it will seems like the boat has just arrive, and that buys you time to make your product it needs.
Also, after your boat is filled, you need not send it off to count as 1 accumulated boat number, as long as it is fully filled, it will sail off when time is up and still gives you the xp and vouchers and add to your CAPTAIN III boat count.
Now, please, try and sit in our position and take a look from our point of view:-
1. The no. of boat that we are handling
==============================
We are currently managing 15+ boats, imagine everyone sent their boats off immediately after it has been filled.
After we have emptied our stocks, we will NOT have enough time to replenish them fully if we are only given the 4hrs grace period and the 12-16hours of docking time, I trust you know how long 1 strawberry cake will take, rite? not to mention about jam...and before you can make the strawberry cake, you will need the time to grow the strawberry, make the sugar, milk the cow, make the cream....try adding these up pls.
You have to admit it will then come down to a point where we will just have a empty barn rite? or not enough to help any more(though by then we will not need to worry about barn full problem)
By then, priority case where those people closer to the 12th boat will need to go 1st rite? with the remaining time left while their boat docks and that means the rest will need to restart their boat again, rite?
I am not sure if anyone would like this to happen, but pls ask yourselves if you would like to restart all over again doing your CAPTAIN III?
2. The Time taken to make the product required by all the members
==================================================
I thought of giving you all the time required by all end products but I guess you should know by now and if you count backwards, you will know how precious the time given/left over is to us.
3. The co-operation of all members make everyone a CAPTAIN III
=================================================
Only with all members understanding and co-operation, the CAPTAIN III thread will then continue to help everyone to get their CAPTAIN III, else it will just be another ghost town after all...
If after you see this post but is still upset. I rest my case.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and I hope you will get your CAPTAIN III soon.

That doesn't warrant the way kolonon and timbo run that thread! I understand wanting to help and that is why I started working on a new thread. I got several pm about the rude way that thread is ran. I am happy to leave.
Hope to see you around other threads

Wonton sorry I did not know that if you left a filled boat it would sail itself when the time was up and give you credit. I would have left the boat last night if I knew that. I was putting the game down for 12 hours and wanted to not miss sending that boat.
I approximate your message but I will still not be returning to the other thread. I don't like to be treated like a child and scolded that way. I enjoy helping other fill there boats so I will keep this thread. Others pm me with the same feelings about the thread.
Hope to see you around other threads
Xcga33i
Wonton the captain 3 thread doesn't p everyone. I felt like I had to qualify and that I barely made it because it was a bad thing that I was starting one boat 1 and at level 38. I have worked very hard togettothis level and didn't like being told NOT to level up any more if I wanted any help!
Ok back to the reason for this thread. Any one else needing boat help. What are your stats.
Xcga33i lv 38
Need 2sets of 2 raspberry jam
Boat 3
I am truly sorry you feel that way and I do understand that you don't want to believe that. We always start off asking people kindly to work with us (instead of against us). I even wrote an essay in an answering your message and explained the reasons why. After this has been explained you could also consider it to be rude to ignore all of us and just go ahead an do your own thing anyway and send the boat off within the first hour after arrival. You didn't take all our feelings into consideration in doing so. It could also be considered rude that you don't think of other people who wer are helping and do work with us to get the job done. That's also a way of looking at it.Quote:

It is with this experience in mind we ask these things. Yesterday we welcomed 4 or 5 people to the Captain III club we have been helping. So Yesterday we had so many boats # 12 on our hands who have (and should have) our top priority.
Please walk a mile in another person's shoes for a bit. How would you feel if we screwed up with our inventories and messed up your boat # 11 or 12 and you had to start all over again ? It is my guess you wouldn't be too happy about that. Therefore other people don't want this happening too. We are just starting to get at a point were we may want to send a couple of boats early.
All this being said, also bear in mind please that English is not my native language at all as you surely would have noticed by now. Therefore it can be quite difficult to find the appropriate tone of voice.
I do wish you all the best on your quest for Captain III.

Wow! Seriously guys, what is going on? Isn't there already a ongoing Captain III thread? :confused: This is just a game, so please relax and calm down. Don't get so work up just because of some achievements. :)
Kolonon sorry I did not know English wasn't your first tonge but you come across very negative in English.
And you did not tell me anything nicely about sending off the boat early. I didn't know you can let them set full and you will still get credit if they go in the night. And you made it sound like I was going to be a huge burden for you but you guess you would let me join the group. Thank you for your help and education but I would like to get back to helping others with captain orders on this thread.
Yumi thank you! I agree I would like to get back to playing the game and helping others. Not just with captain 3 but 1 or 2 also.
Anyone need help filling orders.
@Xcga33i: You're most welcome! :) I don't even bother with the achievements. Just prefer playing my own ways. :p
I only learned English later in life and no I haven't lived in any English speaking country at all. I added my location details a while back which is visible in every post I write so people may see that I am from a country that uses a different language.Quote:

I think I also explained the reasons why we aks these thing of everyone. I don't see how this is that negative as you say. It wasn't untill much later things became more direct and I do agree that it may not have been that nice. You didn't just upset me and Timbo but others who are helping and have invested too.
It is not up to me whether we should help someone or not but some challenges are more difficult than others and yours is a bit more difficult. We are eager to take up as many challenges as we can. I felt I put my neck on the line here and then it can be quite disappointing if something like this is happening. For example if someone is asking help only with 1 of 2 boats it is much easier. If someone is at a lower level it is much easier. Another example Timbo who jumped in helping out after we helped him get his Cap III is only on level 30 (29 a very short time ago). That is 8 levels behind you! Timbo can't help at all with strawberries, strawberry cakes, strawberry ice cream, cocoas, chocolate ice cream, chocolate cake, all jams. I don't even know if he can make all juices yet. However he is a big help in things he can make, especially when we need to punch out 300+ sugars again. Only FishHunter, Rainee, WanNotTon and I can help you with all those items I just listed and maybe I am forgetting a few more at this point. If you rush only 2 boats and not all of us are available on the forum we could be in real trouble real quick.
Anyway I hope this clarifies everything and you do understand our reasoning. I do understand you don't want to return to the other thread and I am not trying to persuade you to return in any way. (Oh just realized, it could be read different then intended... This does not mean you can't return if you wish) I just wanted to clarify and hopefully clear the air a bit so you wouldn't still be angry (for lack of a better word...) if we run into each other in a different unrelated thread.
Also I wish you all the best with this thread and your Captain III achievement.
The message I wrote yesterday. I added the blue bits.
Hi Chrissy,
Thanks for responding. I would like to take on your challenge (provided others helpers agree on this), but do understand it is a bit of a challenge this early on.
You don't need the jeweler for boat orders so that is ok. It is good you are up to speed with your machines otherwise it would be a little too difficult.
However you have to work with us and that entails a few things we are also asking other people:
1. Don't send boats early but be patient. Usually one of the helpers in this thread will make the call as they know what boats are coming and we need all the extra time to recover our stockpiles. So keep track of instructions in this thread. If you are putting the game down for the night or a workday you can send the boat but completely close te game and also from the memory of your device. The next boat will arrive when you start the game again with all thetime on the clock remaining. ( This last bit means sending it when you have 4-7 hours left when you close for the night, not if the boat will still be there in the morning. )
2. When you do finally send a boat, post here what your next boat wants so we can prepare. Even if you can manage a boat on your own just say so. In this way there are no surprises. We have 15+ people on our hands.
3. Keep us posted on your progress, which boat you are on and such. Maybe make a footer with level and boatnr information. You level info is so we can find you easily in the game. We all have many friends and it is impossible to remember all the levels.
( This next part is regarding your level. As there hasn't been said anything else regarding this you must have read this message. Also I don't see where you are "told" not to level up )
There is one more thing. You are in level 38 already. Some of the helpers have lower levels and you have all boats to complete yet. We must be carefull not to get to level 42 to quick. We should keep an eye on it as we go along. Because there are only a few people that can help with coffee and I am not one of them yet. If we are cutting it to close too soon, we might have to resort to us filling all crates and buying back the items you made for the boat for our inventory. So that you don't get all the xp for all the crates and only the bonus for a full shipment. We want you to level up too off course but we may have to slow it down a little so we ca get the job done.
Maybe this sounds a bit harsh and like there are a lot of rules but I hope you understand it's necessary for us to do so. We want to help as many people as we possibly can.
I'll take a chance and have filled a crate of white sugar. Don't have 7 left for the other crate.
kolonon I am not angry...i am not that kind of person. I just perfer to move on and get back to the game if that is ok with you. I didn't see you are for another location and still haven't searched for that info...i am not interested in that. I use the ipod for the forum and it is really little and can be difficult to see. Sorry for that.
Can we please get back to the game?
Thanks,
xcga33i
Really? Another captain thread? Wow.
